This submission is to provide my support for the Continuation Project at HVO North. The expansion will allow for the continued employment of many local personnel in the Hunter Valley area and also will provide continued income for many local Hunter Businesses. There will be minimal impact relative to current impacts for the operations as of today.

I believe that this continuation extension be allowed to proceed, there are a lot of people in the Hunter Valley , Muswellbrook area that earn their income from Hunter Valley Operations and we need to ensure there is work for the next generation in our area.
The area has seen a lot of change over the years & I have lived and worked here for the last 65 years, have seen a lot of change and development that has only helped the area grow but we need to provide for our community and allowing this development to continue will be a big part of that.

The hunter mining industry is critical in supporting my family, friends and community. Without this approval their is less than sufficient investment and development by our governments in this region to fill the void and provide employment and region income.

Submission of objection attached

Supports local businesses and individuals. Currently employed by HVO.

We are a 4th generation earthmoving company that employs 85 people with half of them working at HVO Mine.
We have worked there for over 20 years & would like to hope our future generations can work there as well in the future.
Without mining in the Hunter there would be an enormous amount of families, business's, sporting clubs & charities that would not receive the financial support that these business give so generously.

Keep mining going in the hunter vally

I’m in support of this project

I believe it is extremely beneficial not only for the local community and surrounding areas if the continuation of the project proceeds but also the country as a whole due to what the process provides in terms of materials.
